This entralling book by Randy O. Frost and Gail Steketee is a page turner. Reading about hoarder houses and cars packed with old junk mail, newspapers, and magazines is fascinating. Even the floors of some of these places are covered with a layer of detritus. Most hoarders are highly intelligent and their hoarding behavior begins early in life. The authors, psychologists who work with hoarders and attempt to solve their hoarding problems, state that we all share some of the hoarding orientation to some degree. I have to say I was inspired to clean out a cupboard or two after I finished reading this book.--Barb P.
